Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Roberto De Zerbi was having a bad day after his team's defeat against AJ Auxerre on Friday evening (1-3). The OM coach attacked his players, and in particular his captain Leonardo Balerdi who was not leading after the final whistle. For many, the Argentine defender does not have the sufficient level to wear the captain's armband.
Leonardo Balerdi took dearly after the meeting against theALSO Auxerre. The OM captain took for the others by suffering the wrath of Roberto de Zerbi. “ You lack balls » said the coach of theABOUT to the Argentinian defender. After taking the technician's reproaches in the face, Balerdi had presented himself in the mixed zone, marked.
“We don’t deserve to wear this jersey”
« Given this evening's performance, we don't deserve to wear this jersey, with all the history of this club (…). I don't know if it's the pressure or something else. But we must turn this around in our favor. Playing here is a magnificent thing but you have to understand it and enjoy it. For the moment, we are not taking advantage of it. For me, mistakes can happen in football, but something else is missing. It's the attitude and a lot of other things, I think.” had let go Balerdi Friday evening.
Balerdi is not at the level
But according to Thibaud Vézirian, the player does not have the typical profile of a captain of theABOUT. « Balerdi is unable to get the armband because he doesn't have the material, the shoulders for it. He is feverish, he costs red cards, goals, unnecessary fouls. He is only a good complementary player for OM. So when you put a less seasoned player alongside him, it's the Titanic behind. And you can't have a reliable team » declared the journalist on Twitch.
